Former Australia spinner Brad Hogg believes that Pakistan batsman Babar Azam and pace bowler Naseem Shah would be “great additions” to the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Pakistan players have not featured in the IPL since the first season of the tournament back in 2008.
However, in addition to Azam, who is Pakistan’s Twenty20 captain, and Naseem, Hogg noted there are a couple of other Pakistan players who should play in the tournament.
